Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more »

With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty
Youâ??re going off limits
Going off duty
Going off the rails
Going off with booty
They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types
Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes

The boys next door
The mums and dads
New weds and nearly-deads
Have you ever been had in clubland? 

Thereâ??s a piece in someoneâ??s pocket to do the dirty work
Youâ??ve come to shoot the pony
Theyâ??ve come to do the jerk
They leave him half way to paradise
They leave you half way to bliss
The ladiesâ?? invitation never seemed like this

The boys next door
The mums and dads
New weds and nearly-deads
Have you ever been had in clubland? 

The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town
Meanwhile in clubland they are ready to pull them down
Hey

The right to work is traded in for the right to refuse admission
Donâ??t pass out now, thereâ??s no refund
(when) did you find out what you were missing
The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent
You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment
Thursday to Saturday
Moneyâ??s gone already
Some things come in common these days
Your hands and work arenâ??t steady

The boys next door
The mums and dads
New weds and nearly-deads
Have you ever been had in clubland?
